Celebrating Mothers


One of the most touching people I've ever met is the mother of my sister-in-law Majida. I've only ever known her as "Mama." This is Mama with Kyrmina.


Mama moved with her husband (now deceased) and her children from Jordan to the United States. One of my favorite stories about Mama is her reaction when Majida was in a car accident in Columbus, Ohio.

Mama showed up at the scene of the accident in her bare feet. Any harm to her own feet from the shards of glass or other debris at the scene of the accident was the least of her worries.

She needed to make sure her child was OK.
